Happy New Year !

Usually the municipality invite residents of the fireworks on New Year's Eve.
This year the municipality wanted to try something new. "Light walk" along the streets and city centre, with tousands of with burning outdoor torches. It was beautiful and much better for us who own dogs. Many dogs are absolutely terrified of firecrackers and fireworks. It was really nice, and hot drinks (cofee and
non-alcoholic mulled wine ) was served along the walk. I hope it becomes a tradition.
Happy New Year everyone!

Lovely space in the city, and a great image. It does make very good sense for the pets too.
Happy New Year!

What a beautiful idea for New Year's! I was with some German friends last night who moved to Canada about 4 years ago. They said they miss the fireworks on New Years Eve here in Canada. We don't do that...only on our May long weekend and July 1st weekend. I think we should adopt fireworks on new years over here, not sure why we don't!!:) ANyways, Happy New YEar!! May 2009 be a wonderful year for you and your family!
